Does the indentation mean anything for list elements in Kubernetes yaml?

does the indentation mean anything for list elements in Kubernetes yaml ? For example, in the pod yaml under Use-Case: As container environment variables "- name" under "containers:" is indented, however, "- secretRef" under "envFrom" is not indented...

Hello,
Not related to Kubernetes.

Hi @Ryan-Chase,

In this specific example, - name is evaluated the same way, with or without indentation:

With indentation (as presented in the example):

spec:
  containers:
    - name: test-container
      image: k8s.gcr.io/busybox

Without indentation:

spec:
  containers:
  - name: test-container
    image: k8s.gcr.io/busybox

Regards,
